Something was clearly amiss with Fairfield Ferrata at Aintree after her win at Market Rasen but she is starting to look a bit exposed. Fonzerelli was still beaten 30 lengths when second at Wetherby while Motown Maggie has been beaten twice under penalties since winning a Fairyhouse maiden. Ailie Rose goes on the shortlist having found only one too good the last twice at Down Royal on soft going but there should be plenty more to come from MISS MILANO. She ran green on her debut here in November before tackling Listed company at Haydock and should be more the finished article now.
